Essentials: Science of Stress, Testosterone, Aggression & Motivation | Dr. Robert Sapolsky
- What if stress could actually be good, and testosterone wasn’t really about aggression? In this episode of Huberman Lab Essentials, Dr. Andrew Huberman talks with Stanford professor Dr. Robert Sapolsky about how stress, motivation, and hormones really work. They explain how context shapes what stress does to us, how testosterone doesn’t create aggression but boosts what’s already inside us, and why dopamine is more about wanting than feeling good. They also get into why estrogen is great for the brain, how social media messes with our biology, and what actually helps us manage stress in daily life

Alan Aragon: How to Lose Fat & Gain Muscle With Nutrition | Huberman Lab
The Post-workout Anabolic Window Is Overrated: Total daily protein is way more important than WHEN you eat it
Animal vs Plant Proteins (Whey, Soy, Pea, Quorn):
- “Gram for gram, as a group, animal proteins are higher quality. They’re more anabolic. They have a higher proportion of essential amino acids.” – Alan Aragon
- Most studies show animal proteins cause more muscle protein synthesis than plant proteins
- But here’s the plot twist: there have been studies where plant proteins performed just as well
- Pea protein outperformed whey in one study!
Yes, You Can Gain Muscle While Losing Fat at the Same Time:
- It doesn’t even require a caloric deficit necessarily
- Eat about 10% above maintenance calories (200-300 extra calories)
- Make those extra calories high quality protein
- Aim for 1.0-1.5g protein per pound of body weight (way higher than normal)
All Artificial Sweeteners Are Fine...
- at normal consumption levels...
- You’d have to consume absurd amounts to see negative effects
- It's probably more dangerous to breathe LA air than to drink diet soda
- Saccharine is the one artificial sweetener that shows bad effects (gut microbiome problems, weight gain) but it's pretty much extinct
Coffee Has Net Positive Health Effects on Almost Everything…
People Way Over-Vilify Seed Oils: You can find more dirt on animal fats (butter, lard, beef tallow) than in seed oils
Alan’s Supplement Stack:
- Multivitamin: Takes TWO different ones, one with iron and one without
- Vitamin D3: 4000 IU per day (much higher than most recommendations)
- Fish oil: 3 grams total (about 1g combined EPA/DHA)
- Magnesium citrate: Avoids magnesium oxide (low bioavailability)
- Creatine: 5g per day
- Vitamin C: 1g per day for immunity + potential synergy with collagen
Sherlock Holmes: The Man, The Myth | Stuff You Should Know
Every Holmes Story Follows a Comfortable and Familiar Formula:
- A client comes into Holmes’ office
- He picks apart the client and makes deductions about them
- Then, Holmes evaluates the case brought to him
- He hits the streets, often in disguise, to investigate the case
- Then he ultimately solves the case and captures the bad guy, using impressive scientific reasoning and powers of deduction
- Then explains all of it to Watson, Scooby-Doo style
Strategic Ignorance as Superpower: Holmes deliberately ignored common knowledge (like the Earth orbiting the sun) to hyperfocus exclusively on crime-solving information, showing that selective expertise can sometimes be more powerful than broad knowledge
Wild Fact: Real-life British investigators have used techniques they learned from watching Sherlock Holmes to solve actual cases
Most Adapted Character in History:
- Movies: Around 250+ films featuring Sherlock Holmes have been made since the early 20th century
- TV Shows/Series: There have been roughly 30 to 40 TV adaptations or series centered on Sherlock Holmes globally, spanning from the 1950s to recent productions like Sherlock (BBC) and Elementary
- The total number is around 300+ to date
He Was Inspired by a Real Professor: The character was directly based on Dr. Joseph Bell, Arthur Conan Doyle’s professor at the University of Edinburgh, known for his sharp powers of observation and deduction
A Massive Financial Mistake by Doyle... He sold the first Holmes story for just £25 (roughly $4,500–$5,200 today), with no royalties, missing out on what became one of literature’s most valuable franchises (though he renegotiated later and made a fortune)
Host Recommendation: Mr. Holmes starring Ian McKellen (“It’s so good!”)
Brad Pitt on AA, Growing Up in the Ozarks, Breaking Into Hollywood, Navigating Fame, Irreverent Humor, Working with Tarantino, and Filming F1 The Movie at 180 MPH | Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
The Famous Story About Trying to Get His SAG Card:
- He was working as a waiter extra in a restaurant scene with Charlie Sheen and DB Sweeney
- His only job was to pour champagne, but he really wanted to say a line because that’s what he needed to get the card
- In the middle of the scene, he asked one of the actresses, “Would you like anything else?” even though it wasn’t in the script
- The First Assistant Director ran over and told him that if he ever did that again, he was out of there
- It was just shame for the rest of the night but he took a shot
He Nearly Passed on Seven: “I read the first seven pages. I call her up. I go, ‘Are you kidding me?’ Like the cliche. The old cop wants out. The young cop comes in.” – Brad Pitt
Meeting David Fincher Was Like Discovering a New Language... because Fincher was talking about films like he’d never heard anyone speak about film
Owen Wilson Gave the Best Perspective on Fame: “It’s kind of cool if you think about the fact that you can just make someone’s day.”
Jackass and Punk Were Revolutionary: Switching from tough guys to embarrassing yourself...
- Brad got to do the celebrity kidnapping bit on Jackass
- He knew Spike Jonze through Fincher when they were shooting Being John Malkovich next to them
- He told Spike if he ever needed him, he was in, then Knoxville called up
The Key Insight Brad Learned... is that it’s just about being truthful in the moment, and if it’s truthful, it’s going to work on screen
